EAST TEXAS HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION II THE WAR AND PEACE PARTIES OF PRE-REVOLUTIONARY TEXAS, 1832-1835 by lodella D. Kite Although many people are conversant with the Texas Revolution and events leading to it, relatively little research has been published until recently on the War and Peace parties of 1832-1835. These two factions within the Anglo-American population of Texas helped to sway public opinion both for and against armed conflict in the crucial days leading to the revolution. The War and Peace parties cannot be defined easily because they were not established political parties. They were labels faT persons of opposing political dispositions. Both factions surfaced during the disturbances of 1832. Members of the War Party either participated in the disturbances or condoned them. The Peace Party, probably repre­ senting more Texans throughout the period, loudly criticized the agita­ tion.

Cha an of the Department of History Dean of the Graduate School .. THE EFFECT OF THE ASSIMILATION OF THE LA REUNION COLONISTS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF DALLAS AND DALLAS COUNTY THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTERS OF SCIENCE By Velma Irene Sandell, B.S. Denton, Texas December, 1986 Sandell, Velma I., The Effect of the Assimilation of the La Reunion Colonists on the Development of Dallas and Dallas County. Master of Science (History), December, 1986, 117 pp., bibliography, 90 titles. This study examines the impact of the citizens of the La Reunion colony on the development of Dallas and Dallas County. The French, Belgian, and Swiss families that formed the utopian colony brought a blend of European culture and education to the Texas frontier in 1853. The founding of La Reunion and a record of its short existence is covered briefly in the first two chapters. The major part of the research, however, deals with the colonists who remained in Dallas County after the colony failed in 1856. Chapters three and four make use of city, county, and state records along with personal collections from the Dallas Historical Society Archives and the Dallas Public Library to examine the colonists effect on the government and business community. Chapter five explores the cultural development of the area through city and county records and personal collections.

  • The Hidden Importance of Dallas: Anxiety, Media, and Texas Secession
    The Hidden Importance of Dallas: Anxiety, Media, and Texas Secession by Melissa Queen Texas has one of the most unique histories of the continental United States, yet the public knows little regarding the state’s third largest city, Dallas. Michael Phillips author of White Metropolis, described Dallas as, “too small in the 1860s and 1870s to merit extensive consideration in the histories of the Civil War and Reconstruction, too Southern to be placed in the context of the great labor battles of the 19th century, and too Western to be incorporated into the monographs on the Southern desegregation struggle in the mid-twentieth century.”1 Founded in the 1840s, Dallas was buried beneath decades of railroads, oil economies, and booming businesses. Often missed, is the hidden treasure of Civil War history that is Dallas, Texas. Fueled by a media embellished rumor of northern abolitionists and slave rebellions, the chaos that surrounded The Great Dallas Fire of 1860, thrust the city into a role of political importance, helping lead the state of Texas to secession The historiography surrounding Dallas is incredibly scarce and often biased. Much comes from the founding families’ memoires that have been rewritten either as books, or news articles. An example was Frank M. Cockrell’s grandfather, Alexander Cockrell, one of the first settlers in the city. In 1944 Frank Cockrell published a series of articles for The Dallas Sunday News called History of Early Dallas. The articles helped describe events of early Dallas using information comprised from his grandfather’s memoires. Most commonly seen, are histories like Philip Lindsley’s, A History of Dallas and Greater Vicinity (1909), which is a brief description of political events and discourse in Dallas and the surrounding towns.

  • Searching for the Mayors of Dallas by Barbara A
    DALLAS flE,.VEALOGICAL SOCIETY Searching for the Mayors of Dallas by Barbara A. Ware You know how one project can lead you to another! I didn't consciously decide that I needed to know when and where the men and women who had served the city of Dallas as mayors were born or had died. This project just found me as I worked on the Oakland Cemetery project. It begged to be undertaken. The resulting list will be published in the 2002 Dallas Journal. The search for these people turned up some interesting sources. Seven men who were at one time mayor of Dallas are buried at Oakland Cemetery. An Internet search for these men turned up two web sites: www.politicalgrave- yard.com and www.findagrave.com. The first lists all the mayors of Dallas with their years of service. It also lists burial locations and information on a few of them. Not all of the Oakland burials were listed, and one individual, who had been buried at Oakland and removed to another cemetery, was incorrectly listed. Checking the Texas/Dallas History Department of the J. Erik Jonsson Central Library for information showed that a complete list was not available. Two more web sites, www.dallashistory.com and www.tsha,utexas.edu/handbook/online, gave biographies of some of the former mayors. The next step was to check the clipping files and name card file in the Texas/Dallas History Department. Two books 1 on early Dallas history provided some information; The name card files listed articles in early vanity press books?
